#alcoholic

In her 20’s, Tiffany was doing what most people her age do- binge drinking, blacking out & partying hard. Nothing unusual or abnormal about a young person drinking & letting loose. But what about when having 'fun' is actually the lie you tell for an issue that is spiralling and slowly ruining everything you hold dear?
Over two years ago, Tiffany decided to get sober. Not what people would typically refer to as an alcoholic, yet she knew she had a problem, and if she didn’t stop drinking, she was going to pay a high price.

Tiffany is unapologetic, outrageously candid and hilariously witty in this episode of the Brave Girl podcast.

What's keeping me up? Portland! Their motto is, "Keep Portland Wierd." Well, congrats! Nailed it!
 I also discuss addiction. Specifically my family & my experiences with addicts.  How being a parent of an addict is difficult, on many levels. And how being the daughter of addicts is equally challenging. 

At a dive bar in California, 21 year old Lauren met a playful and very Aussie man, Adam. It was not long before she would call him her husband. Passionate, fun & deeply in love, Lauren and Adams relationship was a whirlwind, yet even underneath the busyness of their life together, Lauren always felt loved, considered and supported by him. But Adam was harbouring a dangerous dependency, manifesting in a way that one does not always assume ‘addictions’ present themselves. A story of love, passion and devastation. This is what it means to love someone who is fighting a losing battle.

Jade also shares some major updates in her life and what this has meant for her life and future.
